Went there today. Alighted at the station. Initial signposting good but thereafter nothing. As regards mugging, there is exceptional CCTV coverage along the route, much better that the route for the ladt 18 years through local roads!

CCTV is good but does not afford the protection of a police patrol.

Gangs cover their faces and wear hoodies to avoid detection and no amount of cameras would deter the desperate feral.

London Overground have provided good direction signing within their station but so far the Council has only provided two nameplates for the Ray Dudley Way section. If no improvement by the weekend BGORUG will provide some temporary direction signs through Edison Close and the Walthamstow Central car park/building site. We have asked London Underground to provide some signs in the subway from the bus station.

The Priory Avenue Residents Association raised high concerns about this walkway (along with the high rise buildings on the Central car park site) before and at the LBWF planning decision meeting forwarded by the LBWF Senior Planner Ian Ansell. The local police also raised their concerns. Time will tell on the safety of this path. The argument that CCTV will safeguard people when CCTV has failed so many times before around the borough where CCTV has not worked for some reason, or has not been clear enough to convict someone, etc. Much safer for these commuters to use the current residential routes of Cedars and Priory Avenues routes. Will be interesting to see if the powers that be restrict or stop this new route when phase two of the high rise builds commences in the remaining area of the car park. H&S issues??

Much as I am pleased to read the news of the opening of Ray Dudley Way as a resident of Walthamstow, I wonder why this is being reported in The Bolton News?

Regrettably I have never been to Bolton. Perhaps I should now visit Bolton to find out what the connection is between Bolton and Walthamstow. I'm eager to find out.
